Tivoli monitoring even less. HP has always been great at creating a strong eco system around Openview. The problem with IBM is that if you are not reselling thier software they really don't give a rip about you as a partner. Also, I suspect the Openview customer base dwarfs Tivoli monitoring and is probably significantly higher than Netview. Combined with the fact that Netview and Tivoli monitoring are not $strategic$ products for IBM. If you throw Netcool in the mix you get a little bit higher activity. On the other hand companies like Zenoss and Hyperic put a lot of juice into the system to get higher numbers.
